[0002] An automotive drum brake uses a brake transmission mechanism to press brake shoes against the inner side of a brake drum with brake friction linings, thereby generating braking force, and decelerating the wheels or stopping the vehicle within the shortest distance as required to ensure driving safety and ensure reliable parking of the vehicle without automatic slipping.
[0003] A brake drum is a cast iron part similar in shape to a tambourine. It is fixed to a tire and rotates at the same speed. When braking, hydraulic pressure is used to push the brake shoes to contact the inner edge of the brake drum, and the generated frictional force by the contact is used to inhibit the rotation of the tire to achieve the purpose of braking. At present, users' requirements for vehicle comfort are increasing day by day, vehicles are getting larger and larger, and the required braking force is also getting larger and larger.
[0004] In the case of high-speed or continuous braking, the brake pads may generate thermal stress due to overheating caused by friction. This thermal stress may cause the brake pads to deform or be damaged and be transmitted to the brake drum. If the self-strength of the brake drum is insufficient, cracks are very likely to occur and the drum may burst, and driving safety cannot be guaranteed. Content of the Utility Model
